Answer

Hi there, welcome to Ask Alex.    

Thank you for contacting us. We do understand that it’s not always easy to share how we’re feeling, but we also know how important it is for our wellbeing to talk about our worries.    

You have asked us if World War III is going to happen. It is understandable and normal that you may have a question like this considering what we hear and see on the news. It’s a tough question to answer and we cannot know for sure what will happen in the future. There are some who believe the only way to protect themselves and their countries is to go to war while others prefer a more pacifist approach. What are your thoughts on this, do you think war is ever justified? 

If this is something that worries you and interferes with how you go about your daily life, it may be worth discussing the topic with an adult you trust such as an older sibling, uncle/aunt, parents, or teacher. You do have the right to information and support around concerns and worries that you may have.
